 CSWP Segment #3

Introduction
o CSWP core certification exam offered in three separate segments.
This book was prepared to help the user to take and pass the segment
3 of CSWP core exam.

o The third segment is 80 min with 12 questions. (13 total including one
instruction page). A total score of 140 out of 190 or better is required to
pass this segment. Each problem set consists of a assembly design
that is gradually modified with fill in the blank and multiple choice
questions.

o This section asks a various types of question regarding below items.

- Create Part and add a part to assembly, what mass of center of gravity(COG)
- Insert mates in assembly. Width, Parallel, Perpendicular, Dimensional and
Angular mates.
* Practice all the standard and advanced mates
- Calculate interference detection and measure distances and angles
- Manipulate subassembly with main assembly. Make it flexible or fixed.
- Modify mates and move the reference coordinate system.
- Replace components in the assembly.

o In general, if you have some experience with Solidworks assembly

modeling the segment 3 would be the easiest one.

o Practice tips
- Practice all the standard and advanced mates.
(popular mates: distance, angle, width, parallel, perpendicular)
- Collision detection: Move component command
- Practice how to make sub-assembly flexible or fixed and manipulate it.
- Creating reference coordinate and measure center of gravity based on it.
- Practice the updating a part and replacing the part with download one in an
main assembly.
Testing Tips
o Below table shows overall process of the segment 3. It would be helpful for
you to get big picture of the test. The order of the question could be slightly
different depend on the test cases. The answer form could be ‘fill in blank’
or ‘multiple choice’. ‘Multiple choice’ question will be a good chance for
checking the answer. If your answer does not listed in choice, then you
have to fix the model (usually two or three questions back).

Problem Question
1. Modeling a part based on the drawing Mass
2. Make an assembly using previously created part. Then, Center of gravity
create reference coordinate.
3. Download a part and add it into existing assembly. Center of gravity
4. Collision detection: Move(rotate or translate) one part Angle or distance
until it contact another part. Once it contact, measure angle
or distance
5. Download a part and create assembly.(for subassembly) Mass
6. Subassembly: Download a couple of part and add them Mass
into sub-assembly
7. Add sub-assembly to the main assembly. Center of gravity
(check how to make sub-assembly flexible or fixed)
8. Setup the main assembly shape with some mates and Center of gravity
constraints (distance, angle, width, parallel, perpendicular)
9. Download a part, add it to the assembly with mates Center of gravity
10. Model a part and add it to the assembly Mass
11. Re-create reference coordinate and manipulate existi Center of gravity
ng mates to set up the assembly based on new origin
12. Interference evaluation: Setup the whole assembly wi List all interference
th specific mates, then evaluate them for interference. parts
13. Update or replace existing part with download one Center of gravity
